‘Neuroscience and the Arts’ Workshop is Part of ‘25 Years of Neuroscience’ Celebration‬‬

What: The “Neuroscience and the Arts” workshop is part of Trinity College’s year-long celebration of 25 years of the neuroscience program. The workshop is cosponsored by the Trinity Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies and will be moderated by Trinity Professor of Music John Platoff.

Bevil Conway, Ph.D., of Wellesley College, will present “The Neuroscientist in the Studio: What Art Practice Can Tell Us about How the Brain Works,” and Pysche Loui, Ph.D., of Wesleyan University, will discuss “The Role of Brain Connectivity in Musical Experience.” The event is held in conjunction with Conway’s art exhibition, “Evidence.”

​Psyche Loui, Ph.D.

Background: Bevil Conway, Ph.D. is an associate professor of neuroscience at Wellesley College. Conway is a visual neuroscientist and artist who examines the neural basis of color using physiological, behavioral, and modeling techniques. His lab explores color as a potential model system for investigating depression and investigates mechanisms of perception and cognition in alternative models like rodents with high visual acuity.

Psyche Loui, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of psychology and of neuroscience and behavior at Wesleyan University. Loui’s research aims to understand the networks of brain structure and function that enable musical processes: auditory and multisensory perception, learning and memory of sound structure, sound production, and the human aesthetic and emotional response to sensory stimuli.
